Cockroaches in pipes: 6 tips to get rid of them (Page 2 ) | February 27, 2024

To prevent roaches from camping in roaches, there are many things you can do  to reduce the food sources that roaches need to survive. Take these measures and you will get rid of them permanently:

putty

Bring a flashlight with you to examine any cracks or holes in the drain pipes. If you find entry points, seal them with caulk.

Silicone

If you see large holes, use   steel wool  to cover them before sealing them with silicone.

Leaky taps

Many pests such as cockroaches and flies are attracted to standing water. It is therefore important to ensure that the taps do not leak.

Cleaning

Cleanliness is a key deterrent to cockroaches and all types of insects. Therefore, utensils with food residue should not be left in the sink for a long time. This is one of the easiest routes to a cockroach infestation. The best thing is to clean the dishes   with white vinegar   and a damp cloth. In any case, your rooms must be kept clean so as not to give these pests a reason to return to your home.

Move garbage cans away from sink

Since garbage cans tend to attract roaches, they should be kept away from the kitchen, especially the sink. And for good reason, the pests that are cockroaches   love food left   in the garbage. Waste must be deposited in tightly closed bags.

diatomaceous earth

Diatomaceous earth   is an effective cockroach killer  . Distribute this powder around the pipes. Don’t overlook any place that could be an entry point for cockroaches. But you can apply it throughout your home. This powder will dehydrate the cockroaches and eliminate them. As a precaution, keep pets and children away from this insecticidal dust.
